So Thursday night we loaded up and headed out on a road trip for the record books (at least for us). 17 driving hours – yikes!
Thursday night we made it to North Atlanta by 1 am and then Friday were able to make it to Nags head in time for dinner around 6pm. The kids did amazingly well for that many hours in the car. We had a few new movies but were surprised as they got bored with watching DVDs. We had new coloring books and a few new books. And Iproducts of course. At one point, each kid had an iphone or pad with head phones playing games. The boys all added GA, SC and NC to their list of visited states! E had been to GA before so she got two new ones!
Macy and Chris on their special day. That’s my cousin Colby doing the ceremony. Macy is our baby cousin out of 15!
The girls…my grandmother, mom and her three sisters. Jimmy (father of the bride) was hiding out at this point.
Logan holding this pillow and acting like such a big boy! It was quite warm and I was worried he would lock his knees and pass out since we told him to stand still, but as usual he did great!
Blowing bubbles for the bride and groom.
The ring bearers and flower girl. Lilly is another cousin!
The wedding was held at the Elizabethan Gardens in Manteo NC – Outer Banks. They had this statue of Queen Elizabeth so I thought it was fitting.
The mornings were spent playing at the beach. The east coast waves where fun for the young and young at heart! Nothing like our quiet Gulf of Mexico! Both E and Logan loved it. Hopefully we can get a few pics from Papa of the beach fun!
So thankful we were able to make the trip and be apart of this special time with my family. Trips like that are always too short and you never get to visit with everyone like you would like but it’s still a blast. I especially love seeing my kids get to play with their cousins. They don’t get a lot of that so every chance it great!
